ControlPanelBundle

Build Status Total Downloads License

Sometimes you don't want to commit to a complete admin system. But you would like to have a nice admin panel structure ready to be extended.

Installation

composer require braunstetter/control-panel-bundle
yarn install --force

What's inside

Templates

You can extend these templates, but you can also use the braunstetter/template-hooks-bundle whose hooks are used inside of the base.html.twig file.

FormTypes

This bundle comes with several custom form types. To show you how you can use it, I want to show you an example.

To make this work you need an OrangePuppy Entity with a title and a description property on it.

Example - Up and running a fully working controlpanel

Create a new symfony project.

symfony new --full my_project
composer install

Setup the database

For this simple test just use a sqlite database by changing the .env file to:

DATABASE_URL="sqlite:///%kernel.project_dir%/var/data.db"
# DATABASE_URL="mysql://db_user:[email protected]:3306/db_name?serverVersion=5.7"
#DATABASE_URL="postgresql://db_user:[email protected]:5432/db_name?serverVersion=13&charset=utf8"
###< doctrine/doctrine-bundle ###
symfony console doctrine:database:create

Create a Controller with a route

symfony console make:controller

 Choose a name for your controller class (e.g. DeliciousElephantController):
 > SiteController

 created: src/Controller/SiteController.php
 created: templates/site/index.html.twig

           
  Success! 
           

Edit the twig template

Change templates/site/index.html.twig:

{% extends '@ControlPanel/base.html.twig' %}

{% block title %}Hello SiteController!{% endblock %}

{% block content %}

Note: don't forget to change the block name from body to content

Start the webserver and visit your control panel

symfony serve -d

Now you can see the result by visiting the /site url.

PageType Example

<?php

namespace App\Form;

use App\Entity\OrangePuppy;
use Braunstetter\ControlPanel\Form\PageType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\SubmitType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormInterface;
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;

class OrangePuppyType extends PageType
{
    public function buildBodyForm(FormInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder
            ->add('title');
    }

    public function buildSidebarForm(FormInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder->add('sideBox', TestBoxType::class);
    }

    public function buildToplineRightForm(FormInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder->add('submit', SubmitType::class, ['attr' => ['class' => 'cp-button-default']]);
    }

    public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
    {
        $resolver->setDefaults([
            'title' => 'Create a new OrangePuppy',
            'data_class' => OrangePuppy::class,
        ]);
    }

    public function getParent()
    {
        return PageType::class;
    }
}

And here comes the explanation.

  1. Extend Braunstetter\ControlPanel\Form\PageType; (for additional build-methods)
  2. Set the title as an option (Either by submitting the option when creating the form, or by setting it inside the configureOptions method)
  3. Overwrite public function getParent() to get view variables and the theme block_prefix inheritance (basically make the styling working ;)
  4. Use the public buildBodyForm, buildSidebarForm, buildToplineRightForm, buildToplineLeftForm methods to fill the form.

The result: page form result

The cp-button-default is a custom button class this bundle provides.

The nice menu on the left side is provided by the braunstetter/menu-bundle.

BoxType

Maybe you ask yourself where the nice sidebar box is coming from. And probably you recognized the TestBoxType inside the buildSidebarForm method. This is the second custom FormType this bundle provides. Here is an example:

<?php

namespace App\Form;

use Braunstetter\ControlPanel\Form\BoxType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;

class TestBoxType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder->add('description', TextType::class);
    }

    public function getParent(): string
    {
       return BoxType::class;
    }
}

This time you just have to overwrite the getParent() and return the Braunstetter\ControlPanel\Form\BoxType. (Because this FormType has no special methods.)

The BoxType has the symfony inherit_data option active by default. This way you can just use it just like you put the forms inside the parent class themselves.
